Why should you automate your production intelligently with FFT? Why automation?

Intelligent automation is crucial to mastering the challenges of the future and to remain not only competitive but also the industry leader.

Increasing efficiency

Standardised processes

Physical relief for employees

Consistently high quality

Higher sales volumes

The intelligent automation of your production with FFT enables you to successfully master the challenges of the future. Standardized processes allow you to increase efficiency, relieve your employees of physically strenuous tasks and at the same time ensure consistently high quality. In addition, automation enables higher production volumes so that you can react faster and more flexibly to market demands. With FFT, you can rely on future-oriented technologies that will strengthen your competitiveness in the long term:

High efficiency thanks to AGVs, cobots and automated machines — a combination of robot technology and smart material flow.
Use of real-time data to optimise machines, production and processes.
Relieving the burden on people, who remain productive and can concentrate on value-adding tasks.
More flexible manufacturing — rapid adaptation to new products, changed production volumes or time-optimised deployments

Process automation is standard Increase efficiency and secure competitiveness

Modern industry has long relied on automation to optimise processes, reduce costs and ensure quality in the long term. Those who want to automate their production are pursuing several goals: shorter throughput times, better utilisation of machines and a reduction in the workload of employees. Routine tasks can be taken over by automation systems, while skilled workers concentrate on value-adding activities. However, small and medium-sized companies in particular face the challenge of recognising suitable automation potential in their production processes. This is because selecting suitable technologies and systems requires not only expertise, but also investment. Although there are numerous standardised solutions on the market, not all of them are suitable for a company's individual requirements. The right strategy determines how effectively production can be automated.

We accompany you on your way Customised automation solutions for your production

FFT Produktionssysteme supports you every step of the way to automated production. Together, we analyse your existing machine technology, your production strategy and the existing range of workpieces. This enables us to identify realistic automation potential and define the optimum degree of automation. In practice-orientated workshops, we work with you to develop specific concepts that are geared towards your goals and then accompany the implementation: from the selection of suitable systems and component production through to integration and commissioning. This gives you customised solutions with which you can automate your production and make it more successful in the long term.
